(author), Mayer, Christoph (author)Small-molecule fluorophores enable the observation of biomolecules in their native context with fluorescence microscopy. Specific labeling via bio-orthogonal tetrazine chemistry combines minimal label size with rapid labeling kinetics. At the same time, fluorogenic tetrazine-dye conjugates exhibit efficient quenching of dyes prior to target...journal article 2021

Yu, Taoyi (author), Khaloian, Ani (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Wood is one of the most widely applied engineering materials due to its favourable physical and mechanical characteristics. As an inhomogeneous biomaterial, wood exhibits complicated mechanical properties including anisotropy, elasto-plasticity, viscoelasticity, and hygroscopic characters. To analyse the time- and moisture-dependent behaviour...conference paper 2021

Huang, Rong (author), Zhao, Xuan (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Yu, Qiang (author), Zhou, Chenyu (author), Daamen, W. (author)High-deck coaches form an essential component of mass transportation systems in China. Safe evacuation from high-deck coaches is facing dire challenges. However, evacuation behaviour from high-deck coaches has not been deeply understood yet. In this study, a novel conceptual framework is firstly proposed to capture the evacuation behaviour of...journal article 2021

Baldi, S. (author), Liu, Di (author), Jain, V. (author), Yu, Wenwu (author)In adaptive platooning strategies proposed in literature to handle uncertain and nonidentical uncertain vehicle dynamics (uncertain heterogeneous platoons) two aspects requiring proper design are neglected: bidirectional interaction among vehicles which might lead to loss of string stability, and engine saturation constraints which might lead...journal article 2021

Yu, G. (author), Ghaffarian Niasar, M. (author), Ganeshpure, D.A. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)SiC MOSFETs have become more and more popular in recent years. Apart from its superior performance, attentions should be paid to its driving method. In this paper, an improved transformer driving circuit is proposed which can provide an almost constant negative turn-off voltage within a wide dutycycle range. Both simulation and experimental...conference paper 2021

Tang, Z. (author), Fang, Yun (author), Yu, Xiao Peng (author), Tan, Nick Nianxiong (author), Shi, Zheng (author), Harpe, Pieter (author)This work presents an energy-efficient diode-based CMOS temperature sensor. It is based on the capacitively biased diode (CBD) working principle and can operate with a 1-V supply voltage. Instead of using a separate CBD front-end and ADC, a new architecture is proposed in which the CBD front-end is directly embedded into the 1st stage of a 1...journal article 2021

(author)A novel type of hardware accelerators called automata processors (APs) have been proposed to accelerate finite-state automata. The bone structure of an AP is a hierarchical routing matrix that connects many memory arrays. With this structure, an AP can process an input symbol every clock cycle, and hence achieve much higher performance...journal article 2021
